Come Monday (3/22), I noticed that the vaginal itching returned and thought I was coming down with another YI from the antibiotics. I did receive oral and had protected sex with a condom on 3/14 & 3/15 from my same partner. I noticed the vaginal itching was getting a little worse, so I went to the gyno yesterday (3/24). My gyno did a thorough exam and said that everything looked normal (no bumps, sores or lesions), but did say that my discharge definitely looked like a YI, so she cultured it & sent it off to test for the strain of yeast. She prescribed me diflucan and I took my first dose last night. After the appointment, I noticed that my vagina became more irritated and I woke up this morning with my perineum burning. I also noticed that sometimes when I pee, the inside of my labia minora feels like I have cuts. I just took a look down there but didn’t notice anything abnormal or alarming. My gyno also called me in nystatin, just in case the YI spreads externally. I am so scared this is herpes and am terrified to go to pee bc it sometimes burns & hurts. Please shed some light on the situation :(. I have HSV 1 orally and have had it since I was a kid. This exposure was 10 days ago. 

Questions:

1.) Does this sound like HSV 2? I’m worried that the cut-like sensation is herpes.

2.) How common is it to contract HSV 2 from receiving oral?

3.) Should I be concerned? 

4.) Is it common to get cuts or have cut-like sensations from a YI? 

If you have had HSV 1 orally since childhood, it is extremely unlikely that you would get it genitally after having it all this time orally

You would not acquire HSV 2 from receiving oral sex, at least the chances would be something like 1 in a million

I don't think that you should be concerned

Certainly a bad yeast infection can cause things that look like cuts in the genital area, most certainly
